Hi Barton, It doesn't matter where you are before you access the Add Master Source button. I'm usually using the Source Clipboard, click on the Change Master Source link to access the Master Source List and realise I haven't already made a source for this data and so click the Add button. But I could be on the Assigned Sources for an Individual screen accessed by clicking the books icon which is on all entry screens and on Family View. Then click the Add a New Source button instead of the Cite a Master Source.
If unsure if you are adding a Source correctly, check out the Videos available on Sourcing. There are a number and some of them are free including "Sources and Citations Made Simple, Standard, and Powerful" http://www.familytreewebinars.com/legacy_videos.php I have no idea what you mean by a christening diaog box or what you mean by the default position of the cursor. Re errors. Have you discovered the website troubleshooting help? Check it out and see if any of the Error 9 fixes help. http://www.legacyfamilytree.com Help Centre Troubleshooting Help. Instead of staying with this source that is causing you so much trouble, you might try entering a different source and check that is error free. Also, it's quite a good idea to practice with the Sample database rather than with your own file. That can avoid errors that may have crept into your file because you haven't run File Maintenance - Check/Repair which is needed to keep a database healthy.
